四明尊者教行錄 6.23

6.23

院丙申秋七月承舊，越十年經始陳修，己酉告成，石公勒石紀之。逮壬子，凡十七年，咸安來學。二師同心祈佛，永命用休，昭烈山家教門。既遂攸敘，懼壽不我永，乃囑院于後賢，惟善繼者居焉，永永相授，非錫于子孫。遂作戒誓，使無反誨言。乃顧于手度弟子（立誠、又玄、本慈、本常、尚閑、德才、曇慧、曇覺、本淳）作戒誓。於是我等小子，咸載拜受命，二月刻石，存乎不朽。二師稱（知禮）。次師稱（異聞）。

In the bingshen year [996], in the seventh month of autumn, the cloister succeeded the old [monastery]; over ten years, new undertakings were begun and renovations completed, and in the jiyou year [1009] their completion was announced, which Duke Shi engraved on stone to record. By the renzi year [1012], a total of seventeen years had passed, and incoming students were all settled in peace. The two masters with one mind prayed to the Buddha that their longevity might find repose, making illustrious and glorious the Shan family's doctrinal gate. Having fulfilled what was arranged, and fearing that their life spans would not be long, they entrusted the cloister to future worthy successors, so that only those who excel in continuing [the lineage] might reside here, transmitting it forever and ever, and not bestowing it upon their own disciples as a private inheritance. They thereupon composed an admonition and vow so that there would be no going back on their words of instruction. Turning to their personally ordained disciples (Licheng, Youxuan, Benci, Benchang, Shangxian, Decai, Tanhui, Tanjue, and Banchun), they made this admonition and vow. Thereupon we youngsters all bowed repeatedly and received the instruction, carving it on stone in the second month so that it would endure imperishably. The primary master is named (Zhili); the secondary master is named (Yiwen).
